Avicii- Levels: Cazzette and Skrillex Electro and Dubstep Remixes

Two remixes of Avicii’s smash hit “Levels” were released on Beatport today. Both of them are very well done.  Cazzette gives an excellent electro mix, which I think provides an even more danceable tune (if possible) than the original. My favorite though has to be Skrillex’s dubstep mix.  I wasn’t sure what to think when I saw that a dubstep mix had been made, but Skrillex absolutely kills it with a high energy remix featuring the amazing sounds of the original track with some hard dubstep action.  Where I live, South Korea, Dubstep rarely makes it into the clubs, but I think this could change that.

Temple One feat. Neeve Kennedy- Love the Fear (Tom Fall Remix)

 

Love this track because it can fit into so many sets.  It features beautiful vocals followed by a hard electro sound. Electro, Trance, and Progressive sets can all use this beautiful remix by Tom Fall out of Finland, especially because at 128 bpm it can fit in with so many genres. 5 star track.

Chuckie- Who Is Ready To Jump (Ryan Riback and Dillion Francis Remixes)

The remixes to Chuckie’s latest track were just released.  Although I liked the original, it was only 3:45 long, so its nice to have some longer versions.  The two I like the best were the electro house remix by Ryan Riback, which has a hard sound to it, and the Dubstep version by Dillon Francis.  I’m not always a huge dubstep fan, but this track has a bit of a faster sound to it. Available now on Beatport.

Fatman Scoop ft. Claudia- Just A Little Bit (Spencer & Hill Airplay remix)

This is sweet electro mix of Fatman Scoop song Just A Little Bit.  House music and pop continue to blend more and more everyday, and this is definitely the kind of track you will here in multiple venues, from the club to the pop oriented bars.  Its got that cool mix of electro music combined with rap that seems to be taking over, with nice vocals provided by Claudia. Expect to hear this often on your nights out. Available on Beatport.

Nishin Verdiano & Ak9- Scumbag

Bouncy, fun new track from Nishin Verdiano out of Belgium and ak9.  Got that techy feel that can crossover well from the club to the lounge to the underground bar. Two versions are out, the original and the remix by Angel Stoxx.  My personal preference goes with the original, but both are quite good.

Joey Negro- Must Be The Music (Crazibiza Remix)

I love the sound coming out of Hungary right now from Crazibiza. This remix of Joey Negro’s “Must Be The Music” hits that spot of bouncy danceable tech house that can work in so many different venues.  Excellent funky, happy beat combined with a good vocal section in the middle make this song an instant winner that will have all tapping their feet and moving their bodies. These guys are starting to make a big name for themselves and I’m looking forward to seeing where they go from here.

Laidback Luke and Sander Van Doorn- Who’s Wearing The Cap: A-Trak and Mata Remixes

A set of remixes were released yesterday to Laidback Luke and Sander van Doorn’s track Who’s Wearing The Cap.  These are my two favorites.  Available on Beatport.

Mata Remix

This remix has a very epic big room electro feel to it.  I like the buildup and the hard bass mixed in with the electro.  Also the whip-back sound gives it a cool edge.  I expect to hear this rocking big clubs very soon.

A-Trak Remix

This version has a kind of funky electro feel in the beginning that becomes more progresssive and big room as the track goes on.  Would work in huge clubs, but also good for smaller venues as well.

Both these tracks are very cool and have that Epic but still danceable vibe to them.

Coach Roebuck- Wouldn’t It Be Good

Cool new filtered track from Coach Roebuck out of New York City.  Got a nice underlying beat with a strong drum that is paired well with vocals.  Has a positive uplifting feel.  Check out more at http://www.soundcloud.com/coachroebuck or on Beatport.
